Alternative Rock ringtones

DESCRIPTION: The term alternative music (also often known as alternative rock) was coined in the early 1980s to describe bands which didn't fit into the mainstream genres of the time. Bands dubbed "alternative" could be most any style not typically heard on the radio; however, most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk. Important bands of the '80s alternative movement included R.E.M., Sonic Youth, The Smiths, Pixies, Hüsker Dü, The Cure, and countless others. Art ... Read More

A bouncy alternative rock song with a swinging beat and big ending. Great for running under a segment, as a stinger, or for anything requiring a hard rock track that's still upbeat and danceable. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

A hooky, funked up dance rock song. Take a little James Brown, mix in some Outkast, and sprinkle in some Talking Heads to taste - and you've got yourself a funk stew goin' on. Cowbell, shakers, bongos, funky guitars, synths, handclaps - this thing is a party anthem. Resistance to the funk is futile. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

A groovy, hip song with a rolling breakbeat and jagged, overdriven guitars. A great combination of the Madchester scene with American alternative rock circa 1992. The lovechild of The Pixies and The Stone Roses. Would suit happy scenes, beer commercials, comedies, college capers. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

A low-down, dirty rock song fusing the style of The White Stripes & Black Keys to the classic rock tones of Aerosmith & AC/DC. The guitars are filthy, the drums are rock-solid, there's a saloon piano... and the chorus explodes in psychedelic glory with a Vox Continental organ. Groovy. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

A big, bouncy alternative rock song featuring an organ in the chorus. Lots of pounding adrenaline and hands-in-the-air moments. Very energetic track with a raw, wild feel. Would be perfect for intense scenes (sports, action, getaway scenes, etc.). A cross between Nirvana, Oasis, and The Black Keys. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

A somber semi acoustic tune about yearning for warmth. Warm male vocals, moody acoustic guitars and keyboard, also lots of open space. Suitable for various uses, chorus - "if only I could buy a sunburn" useful in a cold weather or emotional scene. Alternate electric version and stingers available. Male Vocals, Indie Rock Ringtones, Indie Rock

This adrenaline rush rock track is perfect for action, sports, or anything needing a high-energy soundtrack. Combines the radio ready rock sound of The Foo Fighters with the poppier side of The Pixies. Positive, powerful, and pounding. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

Written for Hotel & Resort commercials, this catchy stinger will grab you and make you want to go on a road trip just so you can stay in a nice hotel. Think of John Candy and Steve Martin in "Planes Trains and Automobiles" as they go romping through the countryside making memories & making us laugh! Male Vocals, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

Easy groove verse with funky drums and congas chorus with light choir and electric leads Fripp tone leads in the bridge. Uplifting feel with bounce and good drive. Would work well in action sequence, planning for trip or heist, romantic flashbacks times past remembering. Instrumental, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

Upbeat college rock with a killer dance-rock beat. Jagged guitars, loud drums, and a massive amount of energy. Guaranteed to get people on the dancefloor. Would be perfect for beer commercials, college movies, comedies, and any scene requiring upbeat happy music. Has a bit of a disco flavor. Male Vocals, Indie Rock Ringtones, Alt Rock

The sound of the 80s, 90s and 2000s - all rolled into one. This song combines the best parts of alt-rock, hip hop and synthpop. Very unique. It starts with a sleazy fuzz guitar riff then explodes with hip hop drums and 80s synths. Sounds like Jack White jamming with Depeche Mode and Cypress Hill.
